Transcripts are the backbone of any admissions process. Whether you’re evaluating undergraduate or graduate applicants, new students, or transfer students, the application can’t be complete without a transcript.

However, the most common format for sending transcripts, Portable Document Format (PDF), poses significant challenges. PDFs, while convenient for electronic transmission, are not optimized for seamless integration into your college’s system. As a result, many colleges and universities resort to manual data entry by their staff, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and errors in the evaluation process.
